By Byrd's standard, hundreds of rioters could have been shot. I fully agree. That only one was shot proves how much the Capitol Police were trying to use restraint.
I can guarantee you that if a bunch of riotous Antifa types were attacking my home, I'm unloading on them, not just a single shot.
Good job, Officer Byrd. He was the thin blue line. I support the police.
The capital is a public building intended for the very political expression these demonstrators were attempting to promote.
So their actions were perfectly legal.
Nothing at all like attacking a private home, which would be a violation of the individual rights of the home owner.
Byrd violated the principles of law because he was not defending himself or anyone else from a lethal threat.
I do not support the police, and there is no legal basis for police to even exist really.
The idea police have superior authority to any average citizen is totally and completely illegal.
